England have withdrawn their men's and women's teams from series in Pakistan that were due to take place in October.
The men were set to make their first trip to Pakistan since 2005, while the women had never before played there.
An England and Wales Cricket Board statement says they know there are increasing concerns about travelling to the region.
It says they believe that going ahead will add further pressure to a playing group who have already coped with a long period of operating in restricted Covid environments.
England's men were using the Pakistan trip as part of their build-up for the T20 World Cup with fixtures on 13 and 14 October in Rawalpindi that were also double-headers with the women.
On Saturday, New Zealand's men abandoned their tour of Pakistan because of a "specific and credible threat".
